BLUeDNA Institute
Optimizing biodiversity monitoring with at-source eDNA sampling
We support global biodiversity surveys using a diver-tow eDNA sampling platform, translating field samples into decision-ready conservation data.
Why BLUeDNA
Built for improved detection, equitable access, and practical data application
In-water transect sampling
Extended sampling via scuba captures eDNA at the point of shed over distance, improving detection compared to single-point methods.
Diver-tow platform
Integrated with standard scuba activity, enabling up to a 66% increase in species detection.
Standardized through rigorous testing
End-to-end methods validated through controlled testing across hardware, filters, preservation, and sequencing.
Decision-ready data
Accessible outputs for conservation planning, monitoring, reporting, and stakeholder communication.
What BLUeDNA delivers
End-to-end marine eDNA survey services
From project design and field deployment to analysis and policy recommendations, we support partners in expanding biodiversity monitoring across regions and over time.
eDNA Biodiversity Surveys
Full cycle marine surveys using eDNA to detect species, functional traits, and habitat use, with defined sampling strategies and reporting.
eDNA Sampling Platform Deployment
Deployment and operation of the BLUeDNA diver-tow system for consistent, high-quality sample collection at global field sites.
Data Analysis & Reporting
Bioinformatics analysis and interpretation delivered as decision-ready reports, dashboards, and datasets.
Training & Capacity Building
Training in sampling protocols, contamination control, project design, and reporting to build durable local monitoring capacity.
Selected projects
Ongoing projects advancing biodiversity monitoring and informing conservation decision-making.
Partnerships
Work with BLUeDNA on biodiversity surveys
We collaborate with NGOs, conservation programs, independent researchers, expedition and tourism operators, dive centers, and local communities to design sampling strategies and deliver decision-ready data.
